	This song is an anthem to our favorite yearly event, The Oregon Country Fair. It was started back in the late sixties and is still going strong entertaining over 40,000 people a day over the weekend. We believe that this song truly captures the spirit of this human celebration of life so perhaps, if you can't get to the fair yourself, we can take you there in your mind.
	Story Behind the Song There are so many tales to tell.... Lyrics Well I went down to a country fair there were no cowboys just hippies there just made stand my fuzzy hair and I felt my red-neck sweat Hippies all just smokin' grass made me wanna kick some ass give one a beatin' I new he'd never ferget And I... stepped out of my truck and grabbed my hat An' I walked up to the nearest one said let me kick yer teeth in son An' he looked up at me with a goofy grin... said c'mon in Well just as I pulled up my sleeves an angel walked right up to me tapped me with her wand and left a cookie Munching as I strolled along it felt as though my soul was drawn into a dusty gypsy throng and I picked up the beat I... I picked up the beat Well my feet were flyin' an' sakes alive I shook 'em on down into over-drive I felt so light I thought that I could fly Man, I was high Before the day had turned to eve I ate a dose and smoked some weed I kicked off my boots and bought a tie-dye It felt as though my life had changed blown apart and re-arranged I felt like an angel and saw faces in the sky I... I thought I'd died But I looked around and everyone's smile was shining like the sun I realised I was not alone Mamma I'd come home! When I went back to Ma and Pa and told them of the things I saw they just thought that I'd plum lost my mind I told them as I packed my bags I think this ol' life's a drag I'm goin' back to the place where people treat me kind I... I'm leavin' my past behind Well my eyes grew red and I grew my hair now I live for the Country Fair no place in the world I'd rather be and now I'm free Oh yes I'm free Good God I'm free Lordy lawd free
